PS help...

So my ps3 serves as my households main entertainment source. (Games/movies/netflix) The thing took a dump the other week and the problem is the motherboard is done for. I'm reading different things about repairing this and want to know if anyone out there has any experience with this at all. Any help is appreciated.

That sucks.
There are some decent how-to videos on youtube. I've never had to do it fortunately.

Just out of curiosity, which PS3 do you have and how many years did it last before crapping out?

You can get spare parts on eBay pretty cheap, and like @Mojo Ram said, there are plenty of YouTube videos on how to replace it.

It's the SLIM version. not sure what model # though. I know there are different variations. I had it for about 4 years... I feel like it should have lasted me a bit longer though. Ehhh... I'll figure something out. Just needed some input. Thanks, fellas.

I've had mine about that long, works great to me. They're essentially computers, so a lot of different things can affect it. Heat, humidity, dust, etc... Hard to say honestly. Dust and heat can really do it, I don't know how many PS3's and Xbox's I saw guys go through during deployments... Seriously, in almost 3 years I saw over 20 of those things go down.
